This may be my last post...

For 2008... (Ha! Got ya, didn't I?) Anyway... my dear friend Amy sent this to me in an email & I just had to share it with the lot of ya... (I'd link her page for you... but it's private.)

After serious & cautious consideration.....your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2009!

It was a very hard decision to make. So try not to screw it up!!!

My Wish for You in 2009...

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.

May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of  $100 bills.

May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!

May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.

May the problems you had forget your home address!

May 2009 be the best year of your life!

A hat to ring in the New Year

Here's a fun thing for the New Year's. Maybe even a great craft for the kiddies.

This is a link to the article that talks about the Julian calendar & has the instructions I have pasted below.

Looks easy... & fun... if I was going somewhere for New Years... I might have to make me one. But since I doubt it... I hope you'll share photos if you make. Enjoy! :)

***********************************

Supplies you will need:

• 9-inch plate.

 

• 101/2-inch paper plate.

• Ruler.

• Pencil.

• Scissors.

• Hole punch.

• Yellow and blue acrylic paint and brushes.

• Narrow ribbons.

• Glue.

• Cotton balls.

• Old newspaper.

Place the smaller plate in the center of the larger paper plate. Trace around the smaller one to make a circle.

Divide the circle into eight equal sections using a ruler and a pencil. Working from the center to the outer edges, cut the lines, but do not cut the outer edge. Leave at least 2 to 3 inches intact.

At the outside edge of the plate, punch eight holes around the plate just opposite the lines.

Put the plate right-side-up on top of the newspaper and paint the center sections yellow.

When dry, paint the outside edge of the paper plate blue.

When dry, fold the ribbons in half, slip the loop through the hole and draw the ribbon ends through the loop and let hang.

Push the center yellow triangles up from the bottom to look like the sun's rays.

For clouds, glue cotton balls around the rim.

You can finish the hat by decorating it with glitter.

Only 10 minutes left

Hubby & I are at home watching Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2008... I guess I'm going to make it again to ring in the New Year!! :)

Did you know that tonight will be the 100th time that they will drop the ball in Manhattan?

How about it they're celebrating with a new sphere... 700 triangle Waterford Crystal pieces to be precise! Dazzling!! :)

Also, this is the night I met my hubby... SIXTEEN years ago!

Have a SAFE night!! :)
